I have created a new pricing page that contains a new pricing table.

I renamed the old page Pricing to Pricing-old. Also deleted the permalink and hit OK so that the new permalink is set to /pricing-old.

I renamed the new page Pricing-test to Pricing. I deleted the permalink and hit OK so that the new permalink is set to /pricing.

In Appearance-->Menus, I completely removed the old menu item Pricing and saved. I then left and went back there, saw that there is now a Pricing and a Pricing-old. I added Pricing.

I saved everything.

For some crazy, crazy reason, the menu item Pricing which has the permalink /pricing, when you click on it, takes you to the pricing-old page!!! This is not at all intuitive. What do I do?

UPDATE What a MESS! I decided to just change the reference to the pricing table inside the old page instead of expect WP to do what it is supposed to do. I reversed the steps above. The result is continuous redirects resulting in an error page, and a site that no longer accepts new customers.

    Try deleting any trashed pages that could be relevant to the issue, regenerate permalinks, and if the site uses a caching plugin, clear the cache.

Regenerate your permalinks. Resetting permalinks rebuilds your link structure for WordPress. Often, this process must be performed after migrating a WordPress website, or when troubleshooting 404 errrors. This is accompished by choosing a different permalinks setting, and saving it. Then putting the permalink setting back to the original setting and saving it again. This is a common step when Troubleshooting WordPress problems.

    Thanks very much. The Yoast Premium plugin was causing all of the redirects. Once those were deleted and the pemalinks regenerated, everything worked.
